Argh! Damn overprotection!

I had quite a few blisters, my pack weighed five stones, the list goes on.

5!? How did you manage that?! Mine was under 3 stone for four days including three litres of water and food for the whole trip. Eep I'm not suprised you didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't have been able to get any sleep at all.

We were in Wales. It was quite a bit above farm land, just have a quick check upstream and only use fast flowing water thats above the tree line. Not accepting responsibility from anyone getting ill though

My mum, packed my bag (not by my choice I might add - overprotectiveness and all) it contained a whole host of useless items including extra food, extra water, and spare batteries (24 pack) 'nuff said.
Wales - I've never been, but I always wanted to. I always just end up going back to Scotland every time I intend to go.
